Riverfront Clean Ups

Help Riverfront Fort Wayne make the St. Marys River's riparian corridor clear of invasive vegetation so that it can do its job of providing prime wildlife habitat, hold soil in place to prevent erosion, and absorb stormwater runoff.

Volunteers are requested at Guldlin Park to clip honeysuckle limbs from bushes, cut down the remaining trunks with handsaws and carry the brush to an area in the park. All tools and work gloves will be provided. The honeysuckle stems are not prickly and the brush isn’t heavy. This is a family-friendly activity, so children are welcome, too. Please dress for the weather! Close- toed shoes, like tennis shoes, are recommended. Groups of 4-40 volunteers are encouraged to sign up for one of the Riverfront cleanups by calling 260-427-6026.
